Crashing Again!

On day 38 we were going to transport Dennis to Select.I had such mixed emotions I couldn’t even concentrate.I had grown to love the staff at OU and the fast pace kept me from really thinking about what was down the road.But as we were putting him on the gurney he crashed.Whitney, his mom Jan and I were all standing there watching as Liz jumped on him and grabbed the paddles.At this point, I turned and walked to the end of the ICU hall and sat down.Whitney stayed there to watch and I looked up and Jan was coming down the hall sobbing.I just knew he was dead, but I asked, “ is he gone?” and she shook her head no.So on day 40, (we said we had traveled the desert for 40 days but little did we know we were going around the desert again) we said goodbye to OU medical center and their wonderful staff and headed to the next step at Select.

About me

I live in rural northwest Oklahoma, I am 50 something! lol, years old and I was married 37 years to a wonderful man. Dennis passed away April 2, 2017. We have one daughter, Whitney and now a son-in-law Nick. They live in Stillwater, Ok. My husband Dennis was a oil field pumper for 26 years, 11 years ago he had a dirt bike accident that left him paralyzed from the upper chest down and had a diaphragmatic pacemaker to help him breath. It changed ours lives forever. I felt like we were the only people in Oklahoma to travel this road and started looking for some caregiving blogs on Spinal cord injuries and didn't have much luck. So I wanted to start one and maybe help some people or listen to people who needed help or just needed to talk. Now I am trying to decide whether to blog or not to blog. I guess I will take it one day at a time.
